• Key Concepts: 
  Subjects are the users of the SAP system. They are the people who access the system and use it to perform tasks. Subjects can be employees, customers, or other external users. In the BC-SEC Security component, subjects are assigned roles and authorizations that determine what they can do in the system. 
  
  How to Use It: 
  Subjects are created in the SAP system by an administrator. The administrator assigns roles and authorizations to each subject, which determines what they can do in the system. For example, a subject may be given access to certain transactions or reports. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to keep track of who has access to what in the SAP system. This can be done by regularly reviewing the roles and authorizations assigned to each subject. This will help ensure that only authorized users have access to sensitive data or transactions. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The BC-SEC Security component also includes authorization objects, which are used to control access to certain transactions or reports.
